Hi, We have created apt and yum repositories for nginx users on Linux. They are available on [Index of /packages/](http://nginx.org/packages/) for CentOS/RHEL 5 and 6, Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian 6. There are plans to update packages as soon as new stable nginx versions are released. To add nginx yum repository fnginx.repo file has to be created in /etc/yum.cond.d/ directory. In CentOS case nginx.repo should look like: [nginx] name=nginx repo baseurl=[http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/](http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/) gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 In RHEL case : [nginx] name=nginx repo baseurl=[http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/](http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/$releasever/$basearch/) gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 For apt repositories /etc/apt/sources.list have to be appended. For Ubuntu 10.04 with: deb [Index of /packages/ubuntu/](http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/) lucid nginx deb-src [Index of /packages/ubuntu/](http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/) lucid nginx For Debian6: deb [Index of /packages/debian/](http://nginx.org/packages/debian/) squeeze nginx deb-src [Index of /packages/debian/](http://nginx.org/packages/debian/) squeeze nginx You may report package bugs to the mailing list, directly to me or on [http://trac.nginx.org](http://trac.nginx.org). ---

All these packages was built with same configure options, with all standard modules (except modules depend on additional libraries like geoip or xslt) and without third-party modules. Each linux distribution has own release cycle, own policy, so we have several native nginx packages for major linux distribution built with different options and sometimes quite old. It is convenient to build last stable version of nginx with same parameters and with most of standard modules, first of all from support point of view both for us and, i hope, for nginx users. As for debian and ubuntu you need to switch to unstable or backports repository to get a fresh nginx version and this is not what most users want, for example, on production. Nevertheless nobody intend to compete with linux packagers, these package are not “better” then official ones, they are more predictable ---

What are they? Which modules? What’s after --configure? And can i add other modules at runtime or disable existing ones? Otherwise, i still prefer compiling from source, but that’s me. Nice to have the packages straight from the source though, instead of through a distro. Cheers, Nuno – “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” ---

Yes, you’re right. This is another debate, but I think switching to testing repo is good, since testing version is now almost considered as stable. ---

To the best of my knowledge, CentOS = RHEL. Sure, one repository is a symlink to another at present. Two paths is an insurance against differences in the future, though they are hardly probable. And since i am building and testing rpms on centos it is unfair to name it rhel only. ---

FYI… RHEL 6 looks for repo’s by default in a 6Server directory, not 6. [http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/6Server/x86\_64/repodata/repomd.xml:](http://nginx.org/packages/rhel/6Server/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml:) [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - “The requested URL returned error: 404” Trying other mirror. I changed my yum file, but just an FYI. ---

One small suggestion for nginx.conf. Rather than using: include /etc/nginx/conf.d/\*; I’d suggest include /etc/nginx/conf.d/\*.conf; This prevents backup/temporary files that are typically created by editors from being processed as valid configuration (e.g. default~, #default#, etc).

Hi! 1.0.6 is still not there, though it is avaible for a day already. When I tried to build it myself, I’ve got a error: /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `/home/boris/rpmbuild/SOURCES/nginx.vh.default’: No such file or directory The same problem is with files logrotate (which is renamed to nginx.logrotate) and nginx.vh.ssl.

There may be the situation when you have not touched default nginx.conf, so it would be upgraded, but config files without .conf suffix were added to conf.d dir, and they would not be included after upgrade. I have no idea how to fix it with post/pre install scripts correctly, so check your configs after upgrade. ---

It’d be nice to have symlinks for other flavors of RHEL, such as SL (Scientyfic Linux) and CL (Cloud Linux). They should work as RHEL or CentOS, but .list file must be modified.
